Albert CamusWhere would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him?
About This Quote
The words of Seneca are true for all human beings, but they are especially true for those who have experienced torture. For them, being unable to rise to the challenge of the day is more than just a hardship. It is a constant reminder that they are weak and inferior. However, if they can reach deep enough inside themselves, they will find the strength to rise again. That is where their glory lies.
